    happy anniversary Drew, sounds just the same symptoms I had last week, cleaned the carbs now running fine
  2. just put the casing back on, the side you took off has no oil in also put back any bolts you removed from the clutch side the (side you couldn't get off) if that is still the case you should be ok to put the oil back in, also check your forks give them a good clean and smear a bit of oil the stanchion unless you have gaiters on in that case just push down on the handle bars a few time to compress the suspension and take your battery off & give it a charge

  4. Hi Rob & welcome to the crazy world of YOC
  5. Hi matt XJ600s is a nice bike
  6. assuming it started, ticked over then stopped! and that it was running fine before, first check oil level then spark plug gap if there's no problem there then it must be the valves, when you say you did a valve job what exactly did you do was it new valves or just the clearances,
  7. have you seen it Sacha!!

  14. I take it you didn't pick that up on your bike? So it would have been a lot cheaper to arrange a Courier to pick it up for you but if you enjoyed the day out then its all good
